Although he wasn't drafted by Thompson, Aaron Kampman fit the same profile of players Ferentz turns out. Iowa doesn't typically produce the fastest or most athletic players, but they all seem to play with non-stop motors.

With his success in Carolina, teams are now looking for Luke Kuechly types at the ILB position. I don't know much about this guy, but his stats and the comment about his range suggest he could be the upgrade we need at that postion.

Defensively, one potential Hawkeye-to-Packer is linebacker Christian Kirksey, who racked up 291 tackles, 3.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and four interceptions the last three seasons. Both Kirksey and Fiedorowicz are projected as third- or fourth-round picks by draft analysts.
